Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 320 - Hate-Relationship

Xu Mey was drying her wet hair as she looked at Jie’s reflection in the mirror. He had been leaning on the headboard, seemingly trying to contact someone.

"Ah-Jie, who are you calling?" Xu Mey finally voiced out her question seeing the deep frown between his brows. "And who is making you so worried?"

Jie threw his phone on the bed and walked up to Xu Mey’s side. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he started massaging gently. "No one is making me worried except for my wife."

"Huh? What did I do?" Xu Mey asked uncertainly.

"Baby, you spent hours in the kitchen. You tire yourself out for no good reason."

"Haven’t you seen the happiness on everyone’s face?" Jie nodded his head. "Then it was all worth it."

He shook his head at her and bent down to pick her up. Laying her down on the huge bed, he sternly said, "For me, your happiness matters a lot but I can’t let you ruin your health in the process. Be nice and stop over-exerting yourself all the time." Lowering his face, he planted a soft kiss on her forehead and pulled away.

As she laid on the bed, she felt tired all of sudden. Rubbing her eyes, trying to keep them open, she sat up again.

"Ah-Jie," she called out to him while he was again looking through his cellphone.

"Hmm..." He hummed in reply distractedly.

"Dad asked me to think about something. I need your suggestion." Jie immediately let go of his phone, seeing the serious look on her face.

"What is it?"

"Dad asked me to meet his first wife." Xu Mey answered in a plain voice. She talked about her mother as if she was just casually discussing a stranger.

Jie stayed quiet for a long while as he pressed his lips together in a straight line. He didn’t know what to say. Could he possibly tell her to go and meet her mother? Or could he just stop her from doing so? Both possibilities didn’t appeal to him very much.

He scooted closer to her, grabbed her head and let her lean it on his shoulder before opening his mouth to say, "If I say don’t go, I’d be doing it just to make you feel at ease since you don’t go to meet that woman. But if I say that you should go, that’d be me being biased. Because I want you to talk to that woman. Perhaps it might solve whatever bad blood there is."

"It won’t solve anything. None of her excuses can change my opinion of her." Xu Mey said promptly in a bitter way.

He tilted his head so that his cheek was brushing against her soft hair as he smiled sadly and said, "Then you can meet her to end the relationship you both share."

"I don’t have any relationship with her as well." Xu Mey retorted in a plain voice.

Jie kissed the top of her head and said, "There is still a hate-relationship between you both. Isn’t it better to end it now? You’re only hurting yourself by hating her for decades. It’s about time to just let it all out."

Holding her small face between his big hands, he made her look straight into his eyes and added, "She should also know what she had put you through. You shouldn’t be hurting all alone."

Xu Mey gave a surprised look. "I thought my Ah-Jie is always acting nice and giving nice pieces of advice. How come you want me to hurt her with my words?"

"Because it was her absence that hurt you." He answered matter-of-factly. "Anyone who hurts my baby should also feel the pain."

Xu Mey felt warm inside and wrapped her arms around his waist to hug him tightly.

"Now, I know what to do." He heard her soft and tired voice.

"What are you planning?"

"Nothing special. I’m gonna meet that woman. Her absence might not be hurting me but it’s still hurting my father. I need to know why she left him? Why did she didn’t even bother to leave a few parting words to him? I need answers and I’ll get them out of her." Xu Mey answered with conviction as she found a comfortable position in the crook of his neck to place her head.

It didn’t even take long before he could feel her steady breathing. She was asleep like a baby. Jie smiled at her and laid her back on the bed.

Hearing his phone vibrating on the nightstand, he attended the call and without waiting for the other side to talk first, he said, "I recently read an interesting fact."

"Oh, really? I wonder how amazing it is." The answer came.

"I read that the more a person is happy, the less sleep he will require. So, I wanted to ask you, how can you be so happy that sleep doesn’t even touch you for days?"

"Congratulations! You are officially one of those ’I’m-being-sarcastic’ people." Jie rolled his eyes at this reply. "Now, stop dawdling and tell me why had you been ringing my phone for the past hour?"

"Coming back to the business... What’s Yiyi doing here in Star City Metropolitan?" Jie straight up got to the question he wanted to ask.
